In recognition of her outstanding contribution to film art, American actress Meg Ryan received the “Honorary Heart of Sarajevo” award on Tuesday evening at the 30th Sarajevo Film Festival (SFF).
The award was presented to her by the director of the Sarajevo Film Festival, Jovan Marjanović.
“Thank you very much. I’m so happy to be here. Thank you Sarajevo Film Festival and all of you for being here, thank you for your hearts. I am glad to be here and to be able to thank you, face to face, for what you have been doing for years. This is an example of how this community can be unique, not wasting their lives, but watching movies, listening to music, dancing and thus confirming that art and culture are an act of resistance. Thank you so much for resisting,” said Ryan.
